Abstract

Character education in Indonesia is an important strategy in building a generation that is faithful, pious, has noble character, and has high integrity. This is in line with the goals of national education as stated in Law No. 20 of 2003. Madrasah Ibtidaiyah plays a strategic role in integrating Islamic character values, such as honesty, responsibility, and compassion, into the curriculum and daily educational practices. The implementation of character education in madrasahs is carried out through formal learning, habituation programs, and an Islamic school culture, which are designed to help students internalize character values ​​holistically. Character education in Madrasah Ibtidaiyah faces challenges such as limited resources, lack of family support, and the influence of globalization that can erode moral values. However, madrasahs also have great opportunities to overcome these challenges through the support of government policies, the role of teachers as role models, and collaboration with families and communities. The Islamic madrasah environment provides a strong foundation for the formation of student character that is relevant to the values ​​of the nation. This study uses a qualitative method with a library research to analyze the challenges and opportunities of character education in Madrasah Ibtidaiyah. The results of the study indicate that madrasahs can be an effective model of character education, producing a generation that excels academically and has an Islamic character. With synergy between schools, families, and communities, Islamic character education can contribute significantly to realizing national education goals, producing individuals who are intelligent, moral, and competitive in the global era.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the management of the Campus One-Stop Service Information System (SISKA) application in supporting the admission services for new students (PMB) at Universitas Muhammadiyah Buton. The background of this research is based on the importance of digitalizing higher education services to improve efficiency, transparency, and convenience for prospective students. This research employs a qualitative approach with data collection techniques including direct observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. The study was conducted at the PMB Unit of UM Buton. The results indicate that the SISKA application has significantly simplified the new student admission process online, from uploading documents and filling out personal data to selecting study programs. However, its implementation still faces several challenges, such as low digital literacy among some applicants, the absence of a user guidance feature, and technical difficulties in uploading documents. The discussion is based on public service management theory and is supported by previous studies emphasizing the role of digital literacy in utilizing online-based service systems. The conclusion of this study is that the SISKA application has significantly supported the one-stop service management system, although improvements in user education and feature enhancement are needed to make the system more inclusive and effective in future implementation.

Abstract

This research aims to analyze the multidimensional role of teachers in developing the character of elementary school students through Social Studies learning (IPS). The study was conducted using a literature review method on scholarly articles from Google Scholar for the period 2019–2025. The results indicate that teachers play a central role as agents of character transformation, functioning across five main dimensions: (1) as a contextual idol who models positive values in daily interactions; (2) as a value integrator who creatively internalizes moral, social, and citizenship values into IPS materials through systematic lesson planning (RPP), innovative methods (project-based learning, simulations), and character-based media such as digital comics; (3) as a character habituation facilitator through structured routines (such as 3S, religious activities, and flag ceremonies) that create a consistent environment for value internalization; (4) as a facilitator of social skills and care through collaborative learning and real social projects; and (5) as a responsible digital literacy guide in the technological era. However, the effectiveness of this role faces challenges such as an excessive focus on cognitive aspects, limited competency in character-based pedagogy, and external environmental influences. Therefore, systemic support is needed in the form of continuous teacher competency improvement, value-oriented flexible curricula, and strong synergy between schools, families, and communities. In conclusion, IPS learning facilitated by teachers with multidimensional roles and supported by a collaborative ecosystem serves as a strategic vehicle for shaping a future generation that is not only academically intelligent but also strong in character, integrity, and social care.

Abstract

This study examines the principal’s strategies in strengthening School-Based Management (SBM) to improve madrasah quality at MAN 1 Baubau. The research is positioned within contemporary educational governance debates that emphasize decentralization, accountability, and continuous quality improvement in school organizations. Using a qualitative case study approach, the study focuses on how leadership practices translate SBM principles into operational programs and routines, and how these practices shape instructional quality and organizational capacity. Data were generated through semi-structured interviews with key stakeholders (madrasah principal, vice principals, teachers, administrative staff, and committee representatives), direct observations of managerial and instructional routines, and document analysis of planning and evaluation records. Data analysis followed an interactive model involving data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing, supported by triangulation and member checking to enhance trustworthiness. The findings indicate that SBM strengthening is pursued through: (1) strategic alignment of the vision–mission with measurable annual targets and prioritized quality programs; (2) participatory governance structures that distribute roles and responsibilities through functional teams and routine coordination forums; (3) evidence-informed planning and managerial control through monitoring, evaluation, and follow-up mechanisms consistent with continuous improvement logic; (4) instructional leadership practices, including formative academic supervision and teacher professional learning activities; and (5) resource governance and student service strengthening to improve process reliability and learning conditions. Persistent challenges include uneven staff engagement, administrative workload pressures, and limited digital integration of data systems that affect responsiveness. Overall, the study suggests that SBM can operate as a sustainable quality improvement mechanism when leadership integrates direction (targets), systems (routines), and people (capacity and culture), thereby moving implementation beyond document compliance toward measurable improvements in madrasah quality.

Abstract

This study examines the principal’s transformational leadership and its impact on teacher performance in an elementary school context through a case study at SDN 1 Buton. The study is grounded in the need for elementary schools to improve instructional quality and strengthen teachers’ work culture amid policy changes, the reinforcement of literacy and numeracy, and increasing accountability in educational services. The research aims to describe the principal’s transformational leadership practices based on the dimensions of idealized influence, inspirational motivation, intellectual stimulation, and individualized consideration, and to analyze their implications for teacher performance in lesson planning, instructional implementation, assessment practices, classroom management, and professional development. A qualitative approach with a case study design was employed. Data were collected through in depth interviews with the principal and teachers, observations of school and classroom activities, and document analysis (school programs, instructional plans, supervision notes, and teaching administration). Data were analyzed thematically through iterative processes of reduction, categorization, and conclusion drawing, with source and method triangulation to enhance credibility. The findings indicate that transformational leadership builds teachers’ trust and collective commitment through role modeling and policy consistency; enhances work motivation through a clear vision and recognition; encourages gradual innovation through reflective practices and sharing forums; and strengthens psychological safety through coaching-oriented supervision. These practices were associated with more structured instructional documents, more active and responsive teaching, more consistent formative assessment and follow up, and more orderly classroom management. Key constraints included administrative workload, varying levels of digital readiness, limited resources, and student heterogeneity. The study recommends streamlining administrative demands, strengthening teacher professional learning communities, and improving resource support to sustain performance gains.
